"The Compromise" Lyrics:
You, you think its cool to be crazy,
I say "you're born rich? stay rich."
There's no point in taking chances.

And me, I wouldn't call it a sophomore slump
No, I'd say I'm one step closer to bein' just where I want to be.

Away from this scene,
Away from this machine
Alright!

So meet me in the middle
well, come on, let's make up a dance
and we'll agree to call it the compromise.

Step one:
Find a partner, grab a pen
and don't you dare ask questions just sign on the dotted line.

Step two:
Throw your partner behind a desk
where they'll do absolutely nothing
so it's your job to dance and smile
the whole time.

Well, don't call it a trend,
'cause it's the only way we think to get ahead.

So meet me in the middle
well, come on, let's make up a dance
and we'll agree to call it the compromise.

There's no sense in complaining.
If it doesn't change our minds.
Well, take me by the hand let's compromise.

I can feel your feet touching mine.
If you can't dance, there's someone else in line!

So meet me in the middle
well, come on, let's make up a dance
and we'll agree to call it the compromise.

There's no sense in complaining.
If it doesn't change our minds.
Well, take me by the hand let's compromise!

    He sold out? Why? Because he started a new new band within weeks of The Format breaking up? Because he moved on? You're damn right, 'who can blame him.' He's doing amazing things. The Format was incredible. Fun. is incredible. Why does it have to be so difficult? Nate can appreciate both, the rest of us can, why can't you?

    Honestly, I sort of agree with the selling out...okay not selling out, but deciding to take a different approach with pop music. I just tend to dislike the autotune of Fun. or Nate's latest duo with Pink. I'm so glad he's doing something he loves, I just happen not to like his latest material. I'm glad people appreciate it though, and I'll always love his amazing talent as a singer!
